Meet the scariest creature you’ll probably ever encounter, as alongside the Indian Ocean you will find the giant beast known as the Coconut Crab. This is quite a strange finding, as it is both obscure, terrifying, and fascinating all in one. In order to study more about the invertebrate, Mark Laidre from Dartmouth College actually ended up spending two whole months at Chagos where he inspected the strange beings to see what else they could possibly find out about them. That’s where he came to realize that upon opening large coconuts with their claws these creatures end up exerting a.

Would you protect the rights of A bigot?

The Jews of Europe were characterized in the following ways by the Fascists:

1. Bigoted because of “Jewish Chosenness” 2. A foreign element from a different continent 3. An over privileged foreign minority 4. Destructive of indigenous ethnic culture.

Non-Indigenous of America are characterized in the following ways:

1. Bigoted because of “White Supremacism” and other “Supremacisms” 2. A foreign element from a different continent 3. An over privileged foreign minority (LatinX are the majority in the Americas and they are considered Indigenous by many) 4. Disrespectful of other cultures.

The rights of the Jewish people should have been respected during WWII and the rights of the Non-Indigenous Americans should be respected today. Would you protect the human rights of a Jewish person even if they believed in “Jewish Chosenness” and came from a powerful family and promoted Modernism over traditional ethnic culture?

I believe that “Jewish Chosenness” does not have to imply bigotry. It can simply mean that AT LEAST the descendants of Jacob would be a blessing to all families. This does not imply that ONLY the descendants of Jacob would be a blessing to all families. I also believe that most of the victims of the Holocaust had done nothing illegal and that they should have been given fair trials.

Social Justice was an antisemitic American Roman Catholic periodical published by Father Charles Coughlin during the late 1930s and early 1940s.^[1]

Social Justice was controversial for printing antisemitic polemics such as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Coughlin claimed that Marxist atheism in Europe was a Jewish plot against America. The December 5, 1938, issue of Social Justice included an article by Coughlin which reportedly closely resembled a speech made by Joseph Goebbels on September 13, 1935, attacking Jews and Communists, with some sections being copied verbatim by Coughlin from an English translation of the Goebbels speech. Coughlin, however, stated, “Nothing can be gained by linking ourselves with any organization which is engaged in agitating racial animosities or propagating racial hatreds.”^[2] Furthermore, in an interview with Eddie Doherty, Coughlin stated: “My purpose is to help eradicate from the world its mania for persecution, to help align all good men.

A fossil called Tanystropheus was first described in 1852, and it’s been puzzling scientists ever since. At one point, paleontologists thought it was a flying pterosaur, like a pterodactyl, and that its long, hollow bones were phalanges in the finger that supported the wing. Later on, they figured out that those were elongated neck bones, and that it was a twenty-foot-long reptile with a ten-foot neck: three times as long as its torso. Scientists still weren’t sure if it lived on land or in the water, and they didn’t know if smaller specimens were juveniles or a completely different species—until now. By CT-scanning the fossils’ crushed skulls and digitally reassembling them, researchers found evidence that the animals were water-dwelling, and by examining the growth rings in bones, determined that the big and little Tanystropheus were separate species that could live alongside each other without competing because they hunted different prey.

“I’ve been studying Tanystropheus for over thirty years, so it’s extremely satisfying to see these creatures demystified,” says Olivier Rieppel, a paleontologist at the Field Museum in Chicago and one of the authors of a new paper in Current Biology detailing the discovery.

Tanystropheus lived 242 million years ago, during the middle Triassic. On land, dinosaurs were just starting to emerge, and the sea was ruled by giant reptiles. For a long time, though, scientists weren’t sure whether Tanystropheus lived on land or in the water. Its bizarre body didn’t make things clear one way or the other.

Residents of a coastal community in England were left scratching their heads and holding their noses after the massive and odorous remains of a mystery creature washed ashore. The creepy carcass was reportedly first discovered last Wednesday on a beach in the town of Ainsdale. Witnesses who dared to venture close enough to the creature to get a good look at it were baffled by the beast and could not identify what it may have been.

When pictures and video of the oddity, which many took to calling the ‘Ainsdale Anomaly,’ all manner of theories were offered for the nature of the creature, including a donkey, a cow, a walrus, and more fantastic ideas such as a woolly mammoth and, yes, even an alien. “It’s like a mishmash of different things in one,” observed one individual, “it’s 15 feet long, it has flippers, it’s furry and it seems to have another creature attached.”
